You're serious about unjustified movie statues
- PhillySportsGuy

The Hawks are obviously the best team in the league right now. I think we are catching a lucky break thanks to the schedule because they played last night. Even luckier that Bickell is out and the Hawks have no choice but to look towards their third and fourth string goalies. I wouldn't overrate all of this but it gives me hope that we might stand a chance.

and you are (as usual) a concentrated flashbang of stupid!

Nope, but Team Canada is thinking about adding Rinaldo for PK duty.

And Rosehill for toughness. We all know how physical the Europeans and Russians get on the big ice during the olympics.

I have to disagree.
I think he was our best forward for the first portion of the season. (Yes, I know that's not saying much). He really does give that second line some stability. It felt like he gave them the confidence they could score - because he never doubted his own abilities. It was nice to see. Then he started to downslide. How long has his back really been bugging him? Hard to say...
But I wouldn't say he's been a ghost.
And I'm not in the locker room so I can't speak for his leadership - but I bet if you pull the stats for the games he has been in versus not in we've played better... Particularly that second line.

I didn't mean a Ghost as a contributor, I meant he has no presence. They don't even advertise him. It's a lot different then when we got JR. He was all over the place.

I hear plans have already started for a Nick Foles statue. They have also put together plans to tear it down when he throws his second interception.

This is an odd thought, but would they take down the Rocky statue if sylvestor stallone did something horrible?
- PhillySportsGuy

Depends on how horrible. But yes - if it was bad enough I think they would.

Need some psuedo tough guys to take out the Euro trash.

I think they have been marketing him. Lots of him on commercials for gear. The signed sticks for the santa sacks are his... It's not been shoved down our throats but it's been there.
Cuz everytime he came on and I got the shivers. He's got just about the perfect movie villian look for me. So I guess I just notice him more than you do...

Nah... since Rocky is a fictional character (although based on the Bayonne Bleeder Chuck Wepner) it would remain.

Stallone has done something horrible. He's made a movie in which he boxes Robert DeNiro.

Yes. Nothing like watching a film of two Alpha males on Beta blockers.

Oh, probably. I stopped watching the Flyers 5 games into the season.

Was Couturier born in America? Arizona or something?
- PhillySportsGuy

Ya he was born in Phoenix and raised in Canada. He plays for their national team.

LIAR!
Bill's blogs are excellent but you would have to watch some games to make MOATsey's Moanings relevant.
You can't fool me!

We need to get him switched over. We need to convince him that America is better than Canada.
